About
Hasan Kahtan is a researcher dedicated to broadening participation in computing, with a particular focus on engaging underrepresented groups through innovative, hands-on approaches. His work centers on human-computer interaction, computing education, and the design of physical technologies that make computational concepts accessible and appealing. Kahtan’s most notable contribution, "Bridging the Gap: Engaging Girls in Computing Through Physical Technologies" (2024), explores how tangible, interactive tools can dismantle traditional barriers to computing for young women. By integrating physical computing—such as robotics and wearable devices—into learning environments, his research demonstrates a practical pathway to fostering early interest and confidence in technology. Though early in its citation impact, this work has already sparked discussion among educators and technologists seeking evidence-based strategies for equity in STEM. Kahtan’s approach is distinguished by its emphasis on design thinking and user-centered pedagogy, positioning him as a rising voice in efforts to create more inclusive computing cultures. His ongoing investigations continue to bridge the gap between abstract coding skills and real-world, creative applications, promising lasting influence on how we teach and inspire the next generation of diverse technologists.
